The Turnbull

We have a new leader of Our Majesty's Opposition, one Malcolm Turnbull, best known perhaps for defending ex MI5 agent Peter Wright against the British government.

For a Tory, I don't mind him too much, but it is only day one. I know it is a lot of theatre and games, but I can never help being interested in politics.

He is clearly a very clever money maker and always seemed to bail out of companies at their peak and make a killing profit. People who got in early with the internet often made fantastic money, so long as they got out at the right time.

I suppose he now has a car and driver, so don't bother looking out for him on the 325 to Watsons Bay. Anyone as rich as him and who uses public transport as much as he did gets at least one tick from me.

My public diary, not my private one. I live in a highrise apartment building in inner Melbourne. My interests are varied but top of the list are old buildings, history and public transport. You will find plenty of personal experiences to read in my blog too. Just be aware I am not an historian, amateur or otherwise. While I make some effort to be accurate, I don't do proper methodical research so I advise you check all details on your own behalf should you wish to quote me. Your comments are very welcome, but try to be nice to my fragile yet overblown ego. I enjoy receiving email. You can find my eddress in my complete profile.
